After only seven days on the market, I had an offer. And what followed has been a flurry of activity. Perfect timing - my neighborhood had a big "garage sale" planned for last weekend. So with the help of a friend, we readied everything (almost) in the house for sale. That meant emptying dressers, desks, chests, etc. in case someone wanted to buy one of them. What a job! I'm indebted to Debbie Myers for her willingness to come and help.And how did the garage sale go? It was scheduled to be from 8am to 2 pm, but I had people here from 7am and still more as late as 4:30. Thankfully I had friends, some of whom I asked, and some who just showed up to help. I don't know how I would have managed without them! (Many thanks to Kim, Sheran, Melinda, Elaine, Doug, Brian, Tracy, Debbie, Denise, and Keith!!! I am indebted to you forever!)
I sold everything except one computer desk, and one chifferobe! I hadn't planned to sell my bed since it was new, and I will keep my upright freezer, but all my other furniture has now gone to new homes. My church is having their annual Flea Market in a couple of weeks, so many of the smaller things I still have will go there.
At the moment I am sorting things into piles: storage; get rid of; take with me; and things to have shipped to me later. Quite a job! But I'm no longer under the pressure of the garage sale looming. I can take the next three weeks and get things organized. I will close on the sale on June 15th. And shortly thereafter, I will hit the road, and begin my journey west.
Stay tuned! Who knows what will happen next . . . . .
